ideaass

When in leeds with my faily, i asked them to give me some idea's on what i could make my film about, here are some that i can remember.

  • The boy in the striped pyjamas (prequil)
  • Tramping (how to be a good tramp, top tramps. would of been fun but not exactly correct)
  • stick figure fighting / dance (i would create a track, make them dance and fight to it using a pivot program)

Those are just a few of the idea's we came up with.

The last idea was the one i decided to take through and think more about.

Yesterday, i met up with my other aunt, she has created films before and knows a lot about the animation arty side of things. I told her about my idea and we began to elaborate on it . using a record player to project my idea on to would be fun. We then thought about a completly new idea of making a track (which i am going to a sudio to do later today) and then fliging peices of paint, chalk, pencils, crayons, ANYTHING at a spinning record player, we would play around with cross fades into blank canvases, adding random peices of image and creating something very peculiar. My only concern is that this is not what i am supposed to be doing and also that i wouldnt be able to get the flinging of the item to be in rythm with the music. In theory i am creating an arty drum and base music video. Thanks.
